A commonly used ''illustrative format'' of the structure of laminin can be said to resemble a cross (among other things, such as a sword or caduceus [the latter being a symbol of the Greek god Hermes], or even an ''inverted'' cross [which is often displayed to ''mock'' the Christian god]). The actual protein itself would have to be manipulated from the form it takes in nature in order to resemble a cross.

The laminin argument is an attempt to prove the existence of the Christian god. The argument promotes the idea that God left a hallmark of its creation of living beings in the form of the laminin glycoprotein.

Counter arguments

Biblical inaccuracy

The earliest known copies of the gospels use the word stauros for Jesus's cross. According to historians of the time, the stauros crucifixion was done as a "T" shape. Jesus's cross was not cross-shaped.

A commonly used illustrative format of the structure of laminin can be said to resemble a cross (among other things, such as a sword or caduceus [the latter being a symbol of the Greek god Hermes], or even an inverted cross [which is often displayed to mock the Christian god]). The actual protein itself would have to be manipulated from the form it takes in nature in order to resemble a cross.

A common criticism of Christianity is that it breaks the second commandment (of the Biblical Ten Commandments) by the use of the cross or crucifix as a symbol of worship. If this is an accurate criticism, then the Christian god is encouraging the breaking of its own commandments.
